Roskilde Festival 2010 was held on July 1-July 4 with warmup from June 26. For the 2010 edition of Roskilde Festival, they decided to close down the Astoria stage.

New features

  • A Tuborg label-shaped, C02-neutral swimming pool was situated at the festival's Culture Zone as a wonderland for Roskilde Festival's water-loving audience. Everyone must provide an energy ratio on custom-built fitness bicycles in order to get access to the pool area.
  • Using the slogan Cut the Crap, Roskilde Festival has encouraged the guests to clean up after themselves and take care of the environment. The collection of garbage at the campsite is a part of the climate and environmental focus of Roskilde Festival 2010. A part of the initiative is also this year’s refund system on pavilions. The guests have deposited over EUR 67,000 in refund on pavilions, and already by Sunday morning the first pavilions were turned in and the refund paid out. Even so, if anyone leaves their pavilion behind, Roskilde Festival will donate all materials that are left behind and covered by the refund agreement to the Danish humanitarian organization DanChurchAid.
